Seriously, what's it going to take for Louise to open her pretty little eyes and realise that Madison and Alexandra aren't her mates, they're just a pair of evil manipulative madams intent on destroying her? We know Lou doesn't want to lose her street cred by falling out with her so-called friends, but we thought she was cleverer than this – she's meant to be a Mitchell, for God's sake.

She stood by and watched while Mads and Alex made Bex's life a living hell, but Louise still doesn't seem to have twigged that the bullies have now moved onto her. Do yourself a favour, girl, heed Bex's warning and kick those two cows out of your life for good.

Who could ever suspect lovely, gentle Fiz of being a triple murderer? Well, there were definitely a few of the residents in Weatherfield who believed she'd assisted her hubby John Stape in carrying out his gruesome crimes. As guilty John fled the country before the cops could catch him, Fiz was nicked and sent to prison to await her trial.

During those dark days, we seem to remember Fiz had a real lack of support from her so-called friends, and Sally Webster in particular was quick to stick the knife in. Luckily, her unfair character assassinations turned out to be untrue, and justice prevailed for Fiz in the end. Shame on you, Sal.

When Robert began sleeping with Aaron behind Chrissie's back, eagled-eyed Katie was quick to suspect foul play. A quick scroll through Rob's texts showed he'd been sending a string of suggestive messages to someone called 'A', which led to Katie wrongly accusing Alicia of being his secret lover in front of the whole Woolpack.

Despite her embarrassing error, Katie was undeterred, and her next move was to take Chrissie to a hotel Robert was staying in (with Aaron) to catch him out in the act. That failed too. Double D'oh! Katie did finally manage to discover the identity of 'A', but Robert pushed her through the floor of a barn to her death before she had the chance to show his missus the snaps of him tonguing Aaron.

4. Shirley believing Dean over Linda (EastEnders)

We know that blood is thicker than water and all that, but how infuriating was it that Shirley refused to believe brave Linda when she had the courage to admit that Dean had raped her? While Shirl was never Linda's biggest fan, she should have known that her daughter-in-law would never have told such an appalling lie, and one that risked tearing their family up forever.

As the dark storyline progressed, there were moments where we saw Shirl's support of her sick and twisted son starting to waver, but quite honestly it took far too long for the supposedly clued-up Carter to realise what a monster Dean was.

As if it wasn't grim enough having to watch defenceless Tyrone being reduced to a nervous wreck at the hands of violent Kirsty, he then had to endure the agony of his neighbours thinking he was the one harming his wicked wife. Fiz and Kevin might have been on Ty's side, but Eileen, Deirdre and Julie were totes team Kirsty, and fell hook, line and sinker for her porky pies.

Eileen was so convinced that Kirst was a victim of domestic abuse that she gave some very unreliable evidence to the police about Tyrone, resulting in him getting arrested. With friends like that, who needs enemies, eh? The truth came out in the end, and luckily for Eileen, Tyrone's a pretty forgiving bloke.

Plucky nurse Lyns embarked on a very dangerous game of cat-and-mouse as she tried to expose gruesome granddad Silas, but she underestimated just who she was dealing with. Slippery Si always somehow managed to stay one step ahead, outwitting Lynsey and driving her mad in the process.

The nurse's determination to nail Silas turned into an obsession, and even Lynsey's loyal best mate Cheryl started to question whether her friend was losing the plot. Lynsey's mission to prevent Silas from killing again wasn't entirely successful – as he slayed Rae, and even his own daughter (after mistaking her for Lynsey). Of course, it turned out that Lynsey had been right about Silas all along, which only made the whole thing even more exasperating. FFS!

7. Carla trying to prove that Frank raped her (Coronation Street)

When Carla had the guts to publicly reveal that Frank Foster had sexually assaulted her, guess who thought she was crying rape? Why none other than Sally Webster, of course. For someone who prides herself on being so astute, Sal's a bit of a dumb blonde when it comes to working out who's a wrong'un.

She thought the sun shone out of Frank's backside, and he even wooed her into his bed so he'd have her support at the trial. Gullible Sal was jubilant when Frank was found not guilty of rape, but her rose-tinted specs finally slipped when Frank threatened to do the same to her during a heated row.

8. Darren believing Sienna over Nancy (Hollyoaks)

How many weeks did we have to endure the agony of watching Nancy trying to prove to Darren (and anyone else that would listen) that psycho Sienna was stealing her life? We've got to hand it to the bonkers Blake – she did try pretty much every trick in the book to make it look as if Nancy was going mad, and even succeeded in getting Nancy sectioned.

But why dopey Darren couldn't see what was going on underneath his nose was just beyond us. Eventually, Sienna came unstuck as she faked a pregnancy and got tangled up in her web of lies. The satisfying moment where Nancy finally exposed her enemy, and her prosthetic baby bump, to the punters in the Dog In The Pond was every bit worth the wait.
